Bug report: Library stuck updating forever
Switched to a new iPhone, the library is stuck updating. It never finishes and every time the app goes to the background or the screen locks it starts over. Also there is a visual glitch in the top left corner. iPhone 17 pro Max iOS 27.0.1 App version: 1.6 Build 298
"Paused" stat in Stubs
Paused category has been removed but is still inside the Stubs at the Library Circle stat.
Simkl sync and import
With the ability to sync with Trakt now, could it be possible to add the ability to sync and import data from Simkl ?
Physical release date for movies
Could be interesting to integrate the physical release date for movies. In addition to the one in Streaming, in the footer, could be the right place ? It seems to be possible to retrieve the data with TMDB : https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-release-dates (type 5)
Dynamic Island activity continues even after the app is closed
You can see I have no apps open but the activity in the Dynamic Island remains there even after I manually close the app.
Ability to customize tv show/movie entry page
The ability to remove/add and rearrange those sections on an entry page like: About Trailers Bonus Content Stickers More Like This Cast & Crew Information I also noticed that the order of these sections can vary from entry to entry. Sometimes “More Like This” is at the top, sometimes in the middle.
UI buttons not centered
So far I've seen uncentered UI buttons on entries only in my watchlist and in no list.
Banner Images are very zoomed in on iphone
Maybe do it kinda like Letterboxd and Serializd? Banner at top, under it the Poster on right side and title on the left side? Unless you want it to be unique and do it your own way. The banner definitely shouldn't be that zoomed in at least. Looks fine on iPad tho Except for Rick and Morty again on iPad, and probably some other entries as well.
Searching for Cast & Crew
I think it's essential to be able to search for Cast & Crew in the Search/Discover.
Collapse episodes by default
Sometimes I just wanna see the information at the bottom and to reach that I sometimes have to endlessly scroll down. Or just to see anything else right under the last episode. Either collapse then by default and once a season is clicked the episodes will appear. Or clicking a season opens the episodes in a new window/page.
Missing scroll-edge blur at top
It's only missing in the tv show/movie entry pages. Up Next and Stubs tab pages has the scroll-edge blur at the top.
Rotten Tomatoes Scores
Since we already have the IMDb score, it would be nice to also have the RT scores (both audience and critic)
Ability to mark an entire show as "rewatching"
Instead of marking individual episodes as rewatched (which is fine for certain cases), I’d love the ability to mark an entire show as being rewatched. This would keep all prior watch dates for episodes, but put the next episode in the rewatch in the Ready to Watch section of the Up Next tab. For example, if I mark the series Frieren as being rewatched, then watch two episodes, I’d expect to see S1E3 in the Ready to Watch section.
Bug report
App version: 1.40 build 40 (TestFlight beta) iPhone model: 15 Pro Max iOS version: 18.6.2 Description: -App lags when adding a show to the watchlist and/or and marking multiple episodes watched. -When adding a show to the watchlist it doesn’t show the list of episodes available or when the next one airs. You have to intentionally mark the show as “start watching” to see those. -The stickers are stuck in the UI even after you leave the show/movie screen. -None of the stickers generated are available in the iMessage app.
Ghost Unmatched serie
Just removed and readded tv time export, and see an unmatched serie. Selecting it doesn’t display info which serie, and therefore cannot be matched
Export/download data file from app
Option to export/download the UpNext dataset from app. Ps: not a regular user of iCloud, and don’t seem to find the dataset in my files ?
Comment filtering by language
When the comments section is added, please consider including a language filter, just like TV Time. Users would first see comments from their own language community (e.g. French), making it easier to connect and interact. And for comments in other languages, automatic translation would also be a great addition.
Use characters portraits instead of actor headshots in "In This Episode"
On episode pages, the “In This Episode” section currently displays photos of the actors or voice actors. This works well for live-action content, but it feels less relevant for animated series and anime, where viewers usually recognize the fictional characters more easily than the people voicing them. It would be great to display the character’s portrait whenever one is available, while keeping the actor or voice actor’s photo as a fallback. For example, in a generic animated series featuring a character named Alex, the section would display an image of Alex rather than a photo of the voice actor. If no character image is available, the app would simply continue displaying the voice actor’s existing profile picture. A possible fallback order could be: Episode-specific character portrait Series-level character portrait Actor or voice actor profile picture Current placeholder This would make episode pages more recognizable and visually appropriate for anime and other animated content, without affecting series for which character artwork is unavailable. I got the idea, and got it structured thanks to Codex.
